Investors tracking the asset management space have received positive payout news as ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company officially announced an interim dividend of ₹30 per equity share. The fund house approved this shareholder distribution alongside its financial results for the quarter ended September, reflecting continued cash returns to its investor base.
Record Date Finalized for October 21, 2026
The board of directors of ICICI Prudential AMC formally cleared the payout of ₹30 per equity share and fixed Wednesday, October 21, 2026, as the official record date. This date serves as the cutoff mark to identify eligible shareholders listed in the company records who will qualify to receive the interim payout directly into their designated bank accounts.
Market participants must note how clearing mechanics impact their eligibility under India's prevailing T+1 settlement cycle. Purchasing shares on or after the record date will not qualify an investor for this corporate action, because transactions require one business day to settle and reflect in demat accounts. Consequently, investors need to own the equity before the cutoff so the shares are settled and credited in time. The company has not yet announced the exact date on which the dividend funds will be credited.

The latest announcement adds to a consistent track record of capital returns managed by the fund company. During the first quarter of the financial year 2026-27, the firm had declared an interim dividend of ₹12.40 per equity share. Over the past twelve-month trailing period, total dividends distributed to equity holders reached ₹27.25 per share.
